The badly decomposed body of the 59-year-old was found in the woods off of the Lakeview Apartments in Blackwood where she lived on Monday after she went missing heading to Manahawkin to visit family.

"We want to hear from (the public) even if they may not think it's important," Gloucester Township Police Chief Harry Earle tells WPVI TV.

The Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office used dental records to identify Reiff after an autopsy proved inconclusive due to the decay of her body. A cause of death has not yet been determined; the case is considered a criminal investigation and tell WPVI TV her death seems suspicious.

A $1,000 reward is being offered for information that would help determine how Reiff died by the Citizens Crime Commission. To be eligible for the reward, tips must be called to 215-546-TIPS.

"Suffice to say the scene, the nature of the scene, the condition of the body, lead us to believe that potentially there is a crime that took place here," Jason Laughlin of the Camden County Prosecutor's Office told WPVI TV.
